Question on Rolex LV's

[mikelprz]

Hi,

Wanted to know if someone can give me info on the Rolex LV and why on some dials,, the "swiss made" is different on these watches. Sometimes, I see this bordered between minutes markers and other times above the minute markers of the dial. It appears sometimes, that Rolex has used 2 different dials for the LV. Is this normal, or is this a sign of a SS/Rolex being converted into an LV?
Thanks

Normal. There's been quite a study on the LV.

Check this.

Also there was a thread on here somewhere in the last few weeks about various permutations of this on Subs and also Sea-Dwellers with several pictures posted, if you're able to track that down that might be worth a look.

Cool. Thanks u guys for the info. Excellent article, Mike. I will search the other.
This is great info. I am thinking to buy a LV. This info makes me ponder the year I would want to get. Thanks

SO,, the LV that I've seen has a M963xxxx serial number.. Is that a Mark 7 or Mark 8.
Seems this can be confusing if you don't know the precise production dates to the serial number. Thanks
